Does it bother anyone when you can't finish a book? From the DNF shelf here to just having a book you couldn't finish on your physical shelf at home? It bothers me to no end.

I have a personal rule: if I’ve read more than 50% of a book, I mark it as read. If I don’t get past 50% and can’t keep going, I mark it as DNF. If it's a physical book and I DNF or didn't like it, I sell it back
I try to finish all books but it has to be really bad for me to DNF. I just try to be careful about the books I choose.
Yeah I genuinely don't DNF books, I've done it once, but I kind of got spoilers already and the book was absolutely boring like and I just skimmed through it and the ending was so bad like... I'm sorry
i’m too much of a perfectionist to DNF😭😭 it just makes me feel so uncomfortable to have something unfinished like that
i’ve only dnf twice and the last one i did it’s honestly a soft dnf. mind you i feel like the writing was absolutely terrible but i want to know what happens yk?
I hate dnfing books, so I VERY rarely do it. I can’t even think of time when I have. I could hate the book to my wits end but I will still read it til the end
